FVP: Add support for multi-threaded CPUs
ARM CPUs with multi-threading implementation has more than one Processing Element in a single physical CPU. Such an implementation will reflect the following changes in the MPIDR register: - The MT bit set; - Affinity levels pertaining to cluster and CPUs occupy one level higher than in a single-threaded implementation, and the lowest affinity level pertains to hardware threads. MPIDR affinity level fields essentially appear shifted to left than otherwise. The FVP port henceforth assumes that both properties above to be concomitant on a given FVP platform. To accommodate for varied MPIDR formats at run time, this patch re-implements the FVP platform-specific functions that translates MPIDR values to a linear indices, along with required validation. The same treatment is applied for GICv3 MPIDR hashing function as well. An FVP-specific build option FVP_MAX_PE_PER_CPU is introduced which specifies the maximum number of threads implemented per CPU. For backwards compatibility, its value defaults to 1.
